I love kids. I love taking cute pictures of them.Or WITH them, if they happen to be my own cuties. But really, when it comes to kids and cameras, you just have to remember....if you can't beat 'em (or get them to smile), join 'em.

Our biggest small son decided, in the back of the van on the way home tonight, to give his little sister a science lesson. (yes, we now have a Swagga Wagon instead of a Station Wagon...and I love it.)
"Blythe, do you see that up there? That's the moon. It's made of Glowing Green Cheese!! "
Me, cracking up: "whaaaat??"
Pax: " yes. GLOWING green cheese. But only the full moon. The half moon, it's just made of milk. And it smells kinda, uhhh, milky sometimes."
Adam: "Um. Where did you hear that, buddy?"
Pax: " Oh, I just heard it from Sid the Science kid!"

Thank you, PBS.....
(except I really do like Sid the Science kid. And PBS. Only now my 2year old thinks the moon is made of GLOWING green cheese....)

I had to post some outtakes from our family photo shoot-done with a tripod, a camera, and a remote. It was an adventure... but we've done it every year and ended up with a great Christmas card, so surely we could do it with one extra kid, right?

yeah....right.

I couldn't help laughing when I saw this one. I like to call it, "The Secret Hand".

About Me

I've always been a bit of a dreamer...but as I grow older, I watch in amazement as the God I love and who so loves me is unfolding the desires of my heart- my dreams- one by one as I follow Him. (Although, it never looks quite like I imagined it would!) At 30, I am truly married to my best friend. My days are filled with homeschooling our oldest (while the middle one "tags along"), establishing my photography business (another dream-come-true) in a new state, learning to love my husband more and more as we do life together; and unwrapping the meaning of truly thriving in the midst of all that comes along with the stay-home-mom bit. Our most current adventure is called "husband goes back to school to pursue medicine with 3 littles & a wife at home". I love singing, dancing, photography (which you'll be subjected to more than you may like) being with family,
laughing,traveling,creating, adventures big and small, worshipping my God...I am not very patient and have a bit of a temper; but am daily learning to become the woman, wife, and mother God has created me to be. Enjoy the ride!
